Patient's question:
In recent days, my boss has said that I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. What should I do if a child has a temperature of 38.5°C?Doctor's answer:
Fever is mostly caused by bacterial or viral infections. The treatment primarily involves antibiotics. Simply using fever-reducing medication is treating the symptom, not the root cause. If the body temperature is too high, oral medications like Tylenol or naproxen can be used to reduce fever and prevent febrile seizures. Physical cooling methods can also be applied.There are many triggers that can affect a child's respiratory system. If a child is diagnosed with a respiratory condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, including gastric decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should maintain a balanced diet and avoid stimulating and cold foods.
